Architecture: Remote BlackBerry Monitoring Service

You can install the BlackBerry® Monitoring Service on a computer that is separate from the computer that hosts the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server. If you install the BlackBerry Monitoring Service and BlackBerry Enterprise Server on the same computer, and that computer becomes unavailable, the BlackBerry Monitoring Service might not be able to monitor the BlackBerry Enterprise Server.

You can install the BlackBerry Monitoring Service database
on the same computer as the BlackBerry Monitoring Service, on the same database server as the BlackBerry Configuration Database, or on another database server. You can install the BlackBerry Monitoring Service database
on another database server if you do not want the BlackBerry Monitoring Service database
to become unavailable at the same time as the BlackBerry Configuration Database, if your system resources are limited, or if you plan to run reports frequently.

permits you to manage the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, user accounts, and BlackBerry
devices.

BlackBerry Configuration Database

BlackBerry Monitoring Service

The BlackBerry Monitoring Service
is a web-based application that you can use to monitor your organization's BlackBerry Domain. The BlackBerry Monitoring Service
consists of an administration console and Windows® services. The BlackBerry Monitoring Service console displays issues or events in the BlackBerry Domain
that could cause an interruption to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server
services and sends notification messages to contacts that you specify.

The BlackBerry Monitoring Service Polling Engine polls the BlackBerry Enterprise Server
for SNMP data. The BlackBerry Monitoring Service Polling Engine
sends the SNMP data to the BlackBerry Monitoring Service Application Core.

BlackBerry Monitoring Service database

The BlackBerry Monitoring Service
database is a Microsoft® SQL
Server® database where the BlackBerry Monitoring Service
stores data that it collects about your organization's BlackBerry Domain
for 57 weeks. You can access the data in the database using standard SQL call operations.

BlackBerry Monitoring Service Data Collection Subsystem

The BlackBerry Monitoring Service Data Collection Subsystem manages the persistence of historical monitoring data for building graphs. It also stores and retrieves data, and listens for data that the BlackBerry Monitoring Service Polling Engine sends.
